Greatest band of all time artistically. If you think of music as art and not as a business then they are as good as it gets.

that guitar solo....never gets old

Pink Floyd was so far ahead of their time. They have countless MASTERPIECES to choose from.

Pink Floyd is their own genre. No established category of music applies to them.

This is a scathing attack on the record industry exploiting their artists and all the while not caring about them at all. "By the way which one's Pink?".........not even bothering to learn the names of the bands' members

Musical genius with meaningful lyrics.

Floyd had the magic. Like the Beatles and Zeppelin, there was just something extraordinary about them. The word that comes to mind is "perfect." Wish You Were Here is one of my fav Floyd albums. There is not a dull or bad moment on it.

Their sound, their feel, their creativity, their playing and their production, Pink Floyd was as solid as they come.

funnily enough, this song kind of connects them, via Roy Harper. Roy Harper is the vocalist here, and Led Zeppelin had a song dedicated to him, called Hats Off To Roy Harper

One reason Pink Floyd is so unique is the influence of their founding member, Syd Barrett. Check out their two first singles written by Barrett: Arnold Layne and See Emily Play. Also Astronomy Domine from their debut album Piper At The Gates Of Dawn. Anyone who wants to understand the Floyd needs to start at the beginning. They built their sound over the years. As architectural students, they had a sense of spaciousness. Syd Barrett was the odd one out, an art student who inspired a lot of Dark Side Of The Moon and all of Wish You Were Here. Enjoy the trip.

This song is about sarcasm and being patronized by the record company!!!

Coming Back to Life is my absolute favorite Pink Floyd song.. No one ever reacts to it though.. Would love to see your reaction. It's a beautiful, brilliant song all the way through ✌🤘

They are just great!!!🎶🎵👌👍✌️😎

The not so hidden gem from that "Wish You Were Here" album which you really owe it to your self to check out at some point is "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" The best version I think is not the live version or the "official video" too distracting that one is....no go for the studio version, and headphones you have. It's a long song 15 minutes or so but it will take you to a place....no spoilers....see if anyone else is talking about Shine on you crazy diamond in the comments....thanks for the reaction, I like watching the ones you do.

You just been PINK FLOYD!!!! AWESOME SUM UP!!!!

I think you really got Pink Floyd in your description. Every song has a mission, a journey if you will. And we can put ourselves in the song's position because we've been there - maybe not exactly in what they did but the same psychology and emotions that they are conveying by music

While all my friends had posters of Shaun Cassidy or any other flavor of the week on their walls, I had David Gilmour on my wall! I'm STILL crushing on him! I'm also biracial and my mom is black and my pops is white. My pops introduced me to Pink Floyd many, many years ago! I grew up in the Herman Garden projects on Detroit's west side, which was a predominantly black hood! I introduced that hood and my friends to Pink Floyd! Our summer street parties were lit and caused some confusion to the outsiders visiting! They didn't expect to hear PF or Zeppelin coming from our hood!

Genius.

“... you’ve just been Pink Floyd.” I’m gonna use that line. 😁🤣 I have a new 70’s artist/band to recommend for your blindside series: Boston song “Foreplay/Longtime” Don’t take my word for it, look up the band on Wikipedia and their story alone will give you incentive to listen to their self-titled debut album. Much love to you, Chod.

something about them....yeah epic springs to mind

“You’ve just been Pink-Floyd-ed.” 😆

Genius comes to mind. 🦋✌🦋

Could listen to this all day long, still.

I'm sooo glad I listen to your reaction. You listen, my man you get it. This art affects people in different ways but we can all agree it's great , have a cigar. So just smile if you can hear me. 😉

Mind fuck. The lead for this song was Roy Harper, a folk singer who happened to be recording in the same building, because Roger Waters allegedly didn’t have the vocal range for the song possibly due to exhaustion and David Gilmour simply didn’t want to sing it.

I love the guitar solo at the end one. Of my favorites i also like the syd Barrett era

Let Pink Floyd take you to St Tropez. A nice light tune from Meddle.

Pink Floyd is best after a day at work a little something to drink and the whole album

The good thing is that you don’t HAVE to figure them out. Just go with it and enjoy the ride. There’s a lot to love about their music and words, and you’ll figure out why it moves you over time. I found them in my younger teen years, still listening into my 50s, and it still hits just as hard. One of the greats.

Yep. You have to do Echoes live in Pompeii. Set in the colleseum in Pompeii with artifacts and destruction by Mt Vesuvius eruption. It's a must.

They were deep thinkers and amazing musicians

You get taken away, because you don’t have to rely just on the lyrics to get to your emotions, the instrumentation adds so much to the effect, it leaves you totally full.

Notice the drumming during the last solo right after the lyrics 'riding the gravy train'.

" Hats off to Roy"

There is usually the lyrics and concept supplied by Waters, appropriate atmosphere and background landscape from Wright, punctuation and time from Mason, spirit of a guitar speaking in tongs from Gilmour. Syd Barret an Invisible muse hauntingly projecting onto theire feelings. Maybe...............

By Pink Floyd: On the Turning Away. Powerful, powerful song.

Love this song 💕 when I was little I thought they said " If you knew the name of the game boy...should you have even played! LMAO 🤣 I was like 5

Listen to "time" from Dark Side of the Moon. Be sure to listen to the album track and have the lyrics handy. Once you hit a certain age in life, that song gut punches you.

Great thoughts on the song. Dark Side of the Moon...wish you were here... the wall, three of the greatest rock albums ever made.

The first time I heard the end of this song, the sound that seems reduced to a simple cheap radio, I thought I had damaged my HiFi system, I almost panicked. When I later played it to my brother, he reacted the same way. His reaction made me laugh, since I now knew what was to follow.

With Echoes, DSOM, Wish You Were Here, and Animals all coming out at that time with all the other Great Music, I know I was amazed at Pink Floyd, and what They could Create. PF, Yes, Led Zeppelin, Steely Dan, it all seemed like it was all too great, to ever be exceeded, and I have yet to see their equals. Also, many other bands of the time, right there at the mark.

Great song, it's about how the music business. Strange, this video is from a different song. Pink Floyd live in Pompeii & this song came years later.

In my tab days this was a fave

excellent reaction

YA YOUR THE MAN DONT GIVE-UP STAY COOL AN KEEP PUSHIN ON MY MAN... PEACE

Answer they ask can I tap into your soul for awhile, listen and take trip.That's how they roll like no other band can.You don't need drugs to consume PF ,they are the drug!

A lot of the footage was Floyd doing echoes live in pompei, you've GOT to do that next bro. You won't regret it, it's 🔥. Top reaction as always sir 👌👍

Neither can we explain it!

It takes talent.

They were not stoners. They were just dedicated and connected to their music in ways music makers are not allowed to anymore. It was a time when the album was the end game product and not a single.

One of my favorites. Thank you

Extremely talented musicians and composers they started while in college and formed a special blondness of knowledge and talent. I like their music very much but if I am going to listen to them; it will be the whole album at the same time because in general they have a theme thing going and I want to get lost for an hour.

I’ve got a group that I think may make your list of bands that kill those transitions. The Mars Volta! Here are a few songs to try out. Roulette Dares Eriatarka Take The Veil Cerpin Taxt Meccamputecture

Yet Another Movie

The Floyd didn't do drugs- so they say. Early days they experimented a little with weed and the odd acid-trip but with what happened to founding member Syd Barrett that would scare the living crap out of you if you were in the band. They drank alcohol but most of all the problems they did eventually have was tension within the band. Roger Waters fell out with the other three guys as he tried to take over and believed the band was nothing without him.....how wrong he was. In the end, the four of them together that was the real magic. THAT was Pink Floyd.

Go back and listen to Saucerful of Secrets live at Pompéi. This song segued into Wish You Were Here.

Driven by desire for making everything perfect. This eventually helped drive the band to destruction. A classic example, David was trying an 8 note looped sequence on a brand new piece of kit for the track On the Run (DSotM) Roger completely re-did what all the work David had done.... David admitted Rogers version was better. I think everyone can see how that level of attention to detail would eventually cause friction.

The only bad thing about hitting the high water mark with music back then is I'm not sure we can ever break that plateau again

Roger Waters' voice was raw trying to record this song and couldn't do it, Roy Harper sings lead

At the end it sucks you out and into the next song. Those albums were made for hearing all in one sitting.

Some of the footage in this clip is from their epic Pompeii concert with no audience. Echoes next please. It’s a long one as it’s an entire side of their Meddle album.

Great reaction. You have to follow up with Wish You Were Here. The end of Have a Cigar leads into it. Enjoy!

Listen to anything from Animals..😎

The one who made the video must have smoked a Cheech and Chong's for sure!

I should add this was written and sung by Syd after leaving pink Floyd whilst in a state of madness brought on by the use of psychedelic drugs which didn’t help with his underlying issue of being a paranoid schizophrenic

Just great. Don’t try and figure it out just soak it all up.

I'm the biggest Pink Floyd fan ever. If you want to try something different in their catalog, try playing the song "The Final Cut" and the song that follows it, "Not Now John". You can experience the range, unmatched by any other band. Here is another good song from someone else. It's Nazareth singing "Whiskey Drinkin' Woman". Or try "Down Home Girl". Here is a link to something completely different, but excellent, if you like guitar music. I give you Buckethead and the song "Soothsayer". kzread.info/dash/bejne/lq2FrKpvYZixp6Q.html

Even though "Dark side of the Moon " is probably the best album ever made it's not even my favorite Pink Floyd album " Wish You Were Here" is.

I always wondered, how the record companies (Harvest Records and Columbia Records) reacted to these songs, (Have a Cigar and Welcome to the Machine). After all, these lyrics were not very flattering for these companies.

commentary on the music business.

They are great at getting you with the least number of notes.

IMO PF's later music doesn't hold up compared to their earlier music does. After the Wall, I think they went downhill from there.

no back in the day we had a few kinds of dirt weed. all seeds and stems. Pink Floyd was a tripping band and experience

Do Shine On You Crazy Diamond. The studio version. And don't watch whatever video accompanies it. The video isn't official and it is distracting.

Floyded

What was the purpose of that video? I know you no way to know, I'm just wondering why someone published that.

I think the reason the older bands, '60's, '70's and '80's, are so much better than today's "artists" is because the musicians practiced a lot, and there was an emphasis on the arts in schools, unlike now, and there was no internet to waste time on. You wasted it on practice, practice, practice. That's how you get good, not Guitar Hero. Sorry.

Great song, great reaction as always. I'm gonna keep spamming my Circa Survive - Stop the Fuckin Car (studio ver.) request lol

Lose the background video, it has no connection to the track whatsoever.

There are so many great Pink Floyd songs here's just a couple for you to listen to Arnold Lane and the Nile song and if you like listen to the song careful Eugene with that ax keep listening to Floyd they're awesome definitely rock gods

I think you are figuring out you cant figure out Pink Floyd 😂

You may want to listen to the band Yes. You may want to start with Roundabout from the album Fragile.

listen to early Floyd or later Floyd if you want the mediocre stuff. dark side, wywh, animals and the wall were masterpieces. the other albums have their good parts too, but not to the level of those four albums

Funny, that video isn't for this song
